Okay I'm probably stating the obvious. I havent tested it but I found this If you use the GRUB bootloader, you can indicate the desired runlevel by pressing e to edit the boot configuration (if GRUB is configured to allow you to do so) and appending the desired runlevel (e.g. 5 at the end of the boot command: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-5 ro root=/dev/hda9 5 Then press b to boot with the edited boot command. here http://www.iodynamics.com/education/runlevel.html Mark On Sun, 1 Jun 2003 10:36:15 -0700 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Apologies for this, but it's related to my freevo project... > > I have RH9 with X starting up immediately, no boot into the command > line interface.
